I am definitely in.....Last weekend I went up to meet my new Grandson (6 weeks old) and finally got to know my Son-in law who is a darn good cook, and also loves to smoke on his Big Green Egg..
I was going to do a smoke in Baby Burton's honor, doing a stuffed pork loin, fillet out and wrapped in bacon with I'm not sure what to stuff yet..
Now after the change of events, I will call this, The "Turn Smoke", in honor of a life lose and a new one beginning.
I wish I had the time to put a video together to honor this occasion, but I snatched this one from you-tube and thought is was appropriate.
I will put up the q-view when I'm done with the smoke.
One life gone, another begins.....

Took out 2 racks of baby backs to smoke up in memory of Gary....By now i know he has a load of kids learning the finer points of cooking on the other side.

Since Gary's last comment to me was about my new Weber Mini and took a playful shot at the Yankees. I decided to dedicate my inaugural smoke in the Mini to Gary.
Here it is chugging along (Yankee logo turned away out of respect for Gary).
And here are the BBQ chicken thighs. Should be ready soon...
Rest in peace Gary. And thanks for all the comments and advice.

I decided to smoke up a baby back rib in honer of a great guy who I only knew for 5-6 months. We'll miss you Gary!
I think he picked this rack out for me cause it's the best looking, thick & meaty rib I've ever seen.

Finished. The best I've ever smoked.

For you Gary...
I started last night by brining a 17lb turkey in Slaughterhouse brine.
Took it out this morning, rinsed it, patted it dry, and back into the fridge to dry out.
Took it out of the fridge and rubbed 'im down with some creole butter (softened butter with cajun seasoning mixed in)
Got 'im on the smoker at around 12:30 - Sandy (Frankenstorm) is visiting and blowing things around and it's raining now and cold. Having a few temp issues but finally coming up to temp and go the TBS
More to come. RIP Scarbelly - TBS to heaven for ya!
Just realized I had not completed my post...sorry folks. Here are shots of the completed bird.
God Bless Gary & the Simmons family...
What a beauty...and very tasty as well.

In honor of scarbelly, I decided to smoke some chicken wings along with a whole chicken. I brined my chicken for 24 hours, then let it sit in the fridge overnight
I then got the chicken wings ready using S2K9K's technique of injecting with a Frank' hot sauce/creole butter combo, and seasoned with creole seasoning
I mixed butter with garlic powder and onion powder, rubbed it under the skin, and threw some creole seasoning on top
Here are the results
I haven't been on the forum long, but Scarbelly was very helpful whenever I had a question or any type of issue. I thought that what he and his wife did as far as educating children on cooking was remarkably admirable. It inspired me to bring my two young boys into the kitchen.
RIP Scarbelly. My family's thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

I got on board & smoked up a pork shoulder & some ribs. It was a pretty funny day with 20-30 mph wind & rain. The ribs were done about an hour ago & I am finishing the shoulder in the oven cause keeping temps up with this weather was getting annoying. I think Scarbelly was with me cause the ribs were devoured before I even put any sauce on em!

So here is my Gary story:
I have been a lurker for a couple years until earlier this year I started to respond to posts and add my $.02. Over time I got more comfortable sharing what I knew. Then out of the blue one day I get a PM from Gary saying he had been watching me and wanted to talk with me about a great program. So I called Gary and we spoke for 2hrs about everything. It was like talking with a long lost friend. He told me in great detail about how he and his wife would open their home and hearts to the 4H Kids and share their passion for food and compassion for each other. To hear him talk about it I started to wonder who got more out of the program, the kids or Gary and his wife. Hard to say, but I do know that it was enjoyed by all. So he then went into talking about his pizza oven and his desire to create a dream kitchen, not just any dream kitchen, but an outdoor dream kitchen.... I was very jealous of what he was describing... But he wanted something that he and his family could enjoy together. We started to throw around different pizzas we have made. I told him of a pizza me and my daughters made together just days earlier. All he could say was "I need to try that!"
So Gary my friend here is your pizza........
Wheat Pizza Dough
Sweet BBQ Sauce
Aged Cheddar Cheese and Mozzarella Blend
Shaved Red Onion
House Made Pulled Pork
Baked 475 till bottom crisps (sorry no pizza oven yet! Did use my pizza stone...)
Once the pizza is done it is then topped with Fresh Arugula that has been tossed with Fresh Ground Black Pepper, Himalania Pink Salt, Organic California Extra Virgin Olive Oil and 18 Year Traditional Aged Balsamic Vinegar and it is allowed to wilt slightly before placed on the pizza.
Rest In Peace my friend. You will be missed by all....

He was a good family man. Thanks for your story and honoring Gary with this meal.
I have snack sticks in the smoker now that ill post about in a bit.
I know what you're saying JarJar. After the very first time I talked with him on the phone I felt like I had known him all my life. He was that kind of guy, so nice, so gentle, so friendly, he just made you feel like family! One in a million!!!So here is my Gary story:
